Start your new year off with exploring options for your professional development. UBC’s Master of Museum Education is a unique graduate degree program focusing on the study of education and learning that occurs in museums and other informal learning contexts (such as, art galleries, science centres, parks, historic sites, etc.).
Teachers - take your learning on the road with Teacher Professional Development workshops offered by informal learning sites around southern British Columbia. Below are a few examples of the incredible learning opportunities educators in the informal learning community are offering to help teachers make better use of learning outside the classroom.

Last month we had 272 people enter the field trip bursary draw and we gave away 10, $200 bursaries to teachers. With each draw we ask participants for a little bit of information to help us better understand more about why teachers incorporate field trips into their practice and who they are.
